Quotes by Jessica Neuwirth (?)

“had no money. I had no job. I had no car. I was job hunting by bus, with her in my arms. . . . Women should not have to choose between having a job and having a baby.2 —Lillian Garland”

“This intent requirement leaves women with no legal recourse under the Fourteenth Amendment for many forms of discrimination, including unequal pay for equal work. Indifference to inequality and subconscious bias have had the same or even more harmful impact on women as intentional discrimination, but the Fourteenth Amendment has not effectively addressed this harm.”

“Beyond the value of litigation in providing much-needed access to remedies for women who are discriminated against on the basis of sex, an Equal Rights Amendment will promote public understanding that all men and women are created free and equal in dignity and in rights, and should be treated as such. Historically women have been treated as second-class citizens, in the United States and around the world—economically, socially, and politically as well as legally. Increasingly, as the women’s movement has grown in strength, governments have recognized and tried to address this discrimination. Yet, to the surprise of many Americans, the United States is one of only seven countries in the world (along with Iran, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and two small Pacific Island nations, Palau and Tonga) that have not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).”
